I can take action to improve the water cycle in Canterbury

In this project I was working with Jessica and we decided to create a storybook aimed at juniors

In this project we decided that our success criteria were:

A good Children’s Story needs...	Why is this important?
Eye catching covers	Because then it will look interesting and the kids will want to read it
An interesting title	If the title is good then they will want to read it and find out what the story is about
Colourful illustrations	Because then it will look nice and they will want to read it. It surprises the reader when they turn the page and will want to keep reading
Jokes spread around the book	So it makes the book funny and interesting
Rhyme if you can	It will sound interesting and if you're trying to get a point through to the reader then they will understand easier with the rhyme

Overall our project  meets this criteria because it is eye catching design and inserting plot that will engage a younger audience

Our final project completed

WALT apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

improvisation TECHNIQUES that I have used successfully are To keep converation going by not dying and actpecting the fact that you are where ever your partener/s saying.

WALT apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practise at are Thinking of good ideas on spot and not spend time trying to think of the answer to questions

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was we didn't have scripted line and we could create what ever charter we want because it made it easier and more fun

The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was thinking of something on the spot without knowing what I was going to say

My favourite improvisation game was the party game because you could create any character and interpret it in your own way

Koru Games

The sport I did was touch

My two highlights were...

1. Getting involved in my sport Because we really got to know each other as a team.
2. Improving on my skill over each game.

  I am proud of scoring a try because I helped my team 

Some advice I'd give to future years is, To get involved even if you aren't really into sport 

Care progress

CARE: My progress so far

The CARE award that I am working towards is:  Bronze

The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is: Active thinking           because:I am ace hiving that award the quickest

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is:  Excellence            because:I am barely getting an ticks in that area

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: I am a role model to Juniors by doing every thing on the chart so they can follow.

On the CARE SOLO matrix below I am at this SOLO level: Extended Abstract           because: I can do all the care values by self and can role model it to others

Prestructural	Unistructural	Multistructural	Relational	Extended Abstract
I am not aware of the CARE values yet.	I know what the CARE values mean. I need help to use them.	I can use the CARE values. I need reminding to use them.	I can use the CARE values independently.	I can use the CARE values independently. I can role model to others how to use the CARE values.

I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning instering becuase I never knew adverbial clauses exist and now I can use them in my writng and see them in books Im reading

In this activity (link to adverbial clause activity), I had a sentence then we had to find the adverbial clause.

Water cycle

Intro

The hydrologic cycle (water cycle)is a never ending process which has been going on since earth's existence. It contains steps that keep repeating over and over, these are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff. The states that the water goes through are: solid, liquid and gas.

Evaporation/condensation

Evaporation, is the first step an invisible process that changes the liquid or ice in a water vapor gas; You may notice this water is not salty as the densest of it is to heavy to rise.The water goes up and makes clouds .Which is also known as condensation, all contains water molecules makes clouds this  keeps repeating over into the cloud is to heavy and has to start raining this is called precipitation.

Precipitation

Obviously the cloud is not going to get full and fuller. Eventually it has to start raining in form of water  it could be anything from sleet to hail or snow.This water is fresh and safe to drink but where does it all go?

Runoff

It goes into the last step, runoff. After water has fallen. The water will follow gravity and fall down trees and mountains, to find a larger water source like lakes or oceans;Ground-water is basicly when the water gets infiltrated into the ground and that water is in your tap.

Conclusion

Overall each step is vital in the process and without one of them it would fail.To ensure we have water the process doesnt have a start or finsh and is a never ending cycle meaning there is no new water. Yup thats right we keep reusing the water over and over and no new water has been made for millions of years.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In me and Emma's test we got 17/19 a good result meaning we only had a couple of activities we do before completed.

In this unit I have been learning about:

The parts of speech.

The types of nouns.

The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging remembering the difference between collective noun,abstract noun and noun

Something new I learnt was Learning what different words meant and fully understanding them so I can use them in my writing or reading

Since it was was Wednesday Emma, Jessica and I headed to the libary for our duty. Today it was a bit different since it was cold all the little kids came to the library instead of us coming to the junior area. It worked out great because the kids could choose their own book instead choosing out of a small amount. I read to Aleen and Adam who loved reading and really wanted to do it again. ( which I should hopefully see them again). Overall I really ennjoyed staying in the libary this time letting the kids choose a corner and I really enjoyed it.

The leaderhsip trait I showed was active thinking because I had to think because there was already so many kids in the library and they had to stay there.
